NBC5.com wins Emmy award for podcasts

NBC5.com, the Web site for Chicago’s WMAQ TV, has won the Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award for "Outstanding Achievement for Media Interactivity," which cites NBC5.com’s podcasts.

NBC5.com produces at least 25 Podcasts a week. Content includes morning and midday news, health watch, technology trends, celebrity interviews and sports. While other TV stations now have podcasts, NBC5.com emphasizes original content created specifically for the podcasts.

"When we first started Podcasting in April, a lot of people had doubts about whether it fit into the framework of what a TV Web site should do. This award certainly adds some legitimacy to our efforts and also lends credence to our mission of embracing new technology in order to communicate effectively in this new electronic age," said Marcus Riley, NBC5.com's managing editor.
